I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of CSE at The
Pennsylvania
State University and a research assistant in the Systems and Internet Infrastructure Security Laboratory,
advised by Prof. Patrick McDaniel. My research interests are
in network and systems security. In current work, I am exploring how software-defined networks are
vulnerable to novel classes of attacks and how new trusted computing primitives can be leveraged to
prevent them and build more secure systems.
